Public bug reported:
There's a version of powertop installed in a default build of Ubuntu
Gnome Saucy Alpha 1, even before powertop is actually installed.
However, it's dependencies are not satisfied. When you launch it, it
reports library errors...
$ powertop
powertop: error while loading shared libraries: libnl.so.1: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory
I can't find which package is maintaining it, and the following happens
when I try to query the source package...
$ dpkg -S `which powertop`
dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern /usr/local/sbin/powertop
The I found the main powertop package itself has a dependency packaging
error, meaning it's missing libnl1.
A workaround is to install libnl1...
$ sudo apt-get install libnl1
...after which the powertop launch succeeds.
